Experts of forest department and Wildlife Institute of India are keeping a track on these tigers. At present there are two female and one male tiger in Sariska which were relocated in July 2008 and 2009.<br/><br/>Later this process was put on hold with experts expressing fear that without ensuring that the genes of relocated tigers belong to the same family, the relocation of tigers may prove disastrous. Now care will be taken that the gene pool is not affected while shifting the big cats.<br/><br/>The roar of the tigers which may become louder after the relocation will certainly attract more foreign and domestic tourist to Sariska.<br/>
